Timeline
- (Context) Established AIEA Engine workspace and control-panel direction (single operational config, compile → execute).
- (Action) Built evidence-backed foundation (AI Index 2025, NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, NBER, ILO) and persisted notes for engine design.
- (Action) Created full-development-plan.md plus separate phase specs (Phase 00–05) for modular implementation.
- (Action) Restructured AIEA engine scaffold files to keep only build-relevant scaffolding; archived prior research artifacts into zz_original_data snapshot.
- (Action) Applied update_001.md recommendation by making “Confidence Calibration” a mandatory Phase 2 requirement.
- (Observation) Search-result parsing required alternate retrieval (DuckDuckGo HTML) and direct PDF acquisition for reliable evidence capture.
- (Open Thread) Define operational-config.md schema and module manifest format, then implement compile step to generate ExecPlan.md deterministically.
Context
- Built AIEA Engine as a modular, formulaic, config-driven pipeline modeled after the Sentinel’s compile/execute discipline.
- Anchored the engine on evidence discipline (claim → source → retrieval date → confidence) to prevent instruction drift and speculation.
Actions
- Created modular Phase 0–5 implementation plans for AIEA Engine.
- Created a clean working tree for build work, moving non-core research and exploratory artifacts into zz_original_data.
- Updated the Phase 2 spec and the global plan to require a “Confidence Calibration” section in every core dossier.
Observations
- The strongest recurring pattern from the Sentinel + research is that “cheap output” increases the value of constraints, verification, and trust artifacts.
- Task reshaping (augmentation) is a more defensible near-term default than full job automation; forecasts must be horizon- and constraint-aware.
Open Threads
- Define and create operational-config.md (control panel) and aiea_genesis_go.md (orchestrator) using the compile → execute model.
- Specify module manifests (required fields, dependencies, conflicts) so optional layers never contaminate core outputs.
- Decide the initial core module set and output dossier template that Phase 2 must implement.
Boundary Reminder: Seeds. No maintenance. No roadmap.
